About us forum

Ahhh no you can't it seems!
Just paste in the link and it should figure it out, as I can't!

test

he he success., Thought the size was smaller. Still looking for a way to you tube,

Ugh! What happened there? The last bit of underlining shouldn't have been there.

Also - the quote doesn't seem to work - at least not as I imagined it might. I put some text in my post, highlighted it, then hit the quote button. All th text just disappeared.

Are the HTML codes thingys (technical term) putting extra spaces in? I don't think I put that much space in my message above?

Quote works for me -- all it does is put it in quotes as in the post above. Nothing fancier for now. busy busy busy.

Oooh.There are lots of new buttons now ... Cool!!! Just one extraordinarily useful button still seems to be missing ...more useful than technicolor even! Also can we have some smileys, ones that express subtle enigmatic expressions would be good. (Don't ask me how I managed to underline red text with light blue, I don't know).

Hmm. I totally agree with Somsai... we definitely need a preview button too.

Try again, *wipes sweat off brow*

If Somsai is having trouble with You Tube then there's no hope I'll manage.... but you did say

Where am I supposed to use double spacing (or not). Some people don't have this innate knowledge you know. But I do know HTML means hypertext markup language (whatever that means). What are tags? Are they something to do with things that move (like eyebrows)

And now for a moving video.................

Wow........great work, Somtam!

And what a lot of work.

Do you actually have a life of your own, or does it all revolve within the orbit of TF?
Just curious.........

(Clearly, the color text option has struck a responsive chord here.)

Cheers!

I've disabled the list button and the yourtube button. The later was never going to let clips be embedded anyway, and I don't have time to fix the lists right now. You can mess around with it (ie the code still kind of works, I've just removed the button), but I'd prefer if you let it go!

Images can be made to work but it is tedious (you need to wrap it in a link and it is easier done in the code side. Please don't bother for now.

In answer to queries:
@somsai There are two automated processes. First the BBcode and now these buttons to make is easier for people to format their text. Normal HTML won't work - it is disabled on purpose. So first we swap that out for real HTML so stuff displays how you want. The second process is an automatic script that runs through linking out to destinations, so for example if you type Ko Tao in your text, we automatically link to the section within Travelfish. This is intended to make it easier for people to find stuff, and, with a few side issues (eg Tra Vinh ) it works pretty well. Because we're doing this in two stages, it makes providing an "edit" option considerably more complicated. That is why I put it off for so long.

@Archmichael Thanks. Yes, I would like to have some of my life back. I'll be taking a break when the new site launches.

@SBE Loved the vid - cracked me up.

At the end of the day the forum is hand made, so is never going to have all the bells and whistles of a commercial platform like TT or Tales of Asia - but it does work pretty well if you want to ttype in some text

Cheers

Ok, new site will have a preview function as well.

Who says I never listen
